@arstechnica@mastodon.social I do not sign in to use Google. I do not sign in to use YouTube. They track me anyway and I’m fine with that. I am not using ad blockers.

But if they demand account level tracking from all users, they are going to be tracking, and serving ads to , far fewer users and it will be their AND their advertisers loss.
